Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
2. The method of claim 1, wherein the new pod VM is running in a first host in the plurality of hosts and said another pod VM is running in a second host in the plurality of hosts.
3. The method of claim 2, wherein the plurality of hosts is managed as a Kubernetes cluster.
4. The method of claim 3, wherein the plurality of hosts is managed as a cluster by a virtual machine management server that manages all VMs in the hosts and provisions the virtual disks for the VMs in the storage device.
5. The method of claim 1, wherein the new pod VM is in a first namespace associated with a first user and said another pod VM is in a second namespace associated with a second user.
6. The method of claim 5, wherein the images of containers previously spun up in said another pod VM are running in said another pod VM.
7. The method of claim 6, wherein access to the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM by the new pod VM and said another pod VM is managed using image disk objects that each point to one of the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM, first image objects associated with the first namespace that each point to one of the image disk objects, and second image objects associated with the second namespace that each point to one of the image disk objects.
8. The method of claim 5, wherein the images of containers previously spun up in said another pod VM are no longer running in said another pod VM.
9. The method of claim 8, wherein access to the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM by the new pod VM and said another pod VM is managed using image disk objects that each point to one of the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM, first image objects associated with the first namespace that each point to one of the image disk objects, and second image objects associated with the second namespace that each previously pointed to one of the image disk objects and now point to none of the image disk objects.
11. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the new pod VM is running in a first host in the plurality of hosts and said another pod VM is running in a second host in the plurality of hosts.
12. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 10, wherein the new pod VM is in a first namespace associated with a first user and said another pod VM is in a second namespace associated with a second user.
13. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the images of containers previously spun up in said another pod VM are running in said another pod VM.
14. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 13, wherein access to the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM by the new pod VM and said another pod VM is managed using image disk objects that each point to one of the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM, first image objects associated with the first namespace that each point to one of the image disk objects, and second image objects associated with the second namespace that each point to one of the image disk objects.
15. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 12, wherein the images of containers previously spun up in said another pod VM are no longer running in said another pod VM.
16. The non-transitory computer readable medium of claim 15, wherein access to the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM by the new pod VM and said another pod VM is managed using image disk objects that each point to one of the stored images of the containers running in said another pod VM, first image objects associated with the first namespace that each point to one of the image disk objects, and second image objects associated with the second namespace that each previously pointed to one of the image disk objects and now point to none of the image disk objects.
18. The clustered container host system of claim 17, wherein the plurality of hosts is managed as a Kubernetes cluster and as a VM host cluster by a virtual machine management server that manages all VMs in the hosts and provisions the virtual disks for the VMs in the storage device.
